Subject: GH-102537: Handle check for PYTHONTZPATH failing in zoneinfo test
 (GH-102538)

It is possible but unlikely for the `python_tzpath_context` function to fail between the start of the `try` block and the point where `os.environ.get` succeeds, in which case `old_env` will be undefined. In this case, we want to take no action.

Practically speaking this will really only happen in an error condition anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but we should probably do it right anyway.
(cherry picked from commit 64bde502cf89963bc7382b03ea9e1c0967d22e35)
